Make Black Friday a Little Greener

Are you going to be one of those voracious shoppers hitting all the sales on Black Friday?

Even if you can’t make it downtown for Operation Save Santa, consider replacing your light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs. They’re a little more expensive, but are ultimately worth the extra cost to save energy – plus, they last longer. We all know how annoying it is when a light bulb burns out and leaves you in the dark unexpectedly!
